I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my knees tap.
Tap, tap, tap your knees. Tap, tap, tap your knees.
Tap, tap, tap your knees. Tap your knees with me.
I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my Cymbal
Tss, Tss, Tss…..
I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my Heart Drum.
Boom boom bum…
I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my tick-tock
Do verse on tongue clicks……
I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my maraca.
Chicky cha….
I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my nose.
Humming…..
I’ve got the music in me. Deep down inside of me.
I’ve got the music in me. Listen to my song.
Benefits: This is a good song for following simple directions, and making fun sounds that can help with articulation and intelligibility. The last verse is especially for this.
Other Uses: Discuss and investigate how our bodies are full of music and rhythm. Ask the children how to make hand music, or tummy drums, or nose music. Younger children can imitate a guitar playing during the chorus while older kids can incorporate as many signs as they are able
